National Honor Society Policy/Guidelines
I. Membership:
Selection of potential students for membership is based on the four standards set forth by the National Honor Society. These standards Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character are outlined below.
II. Scholarship:
Scholarship eligibility requires a minimum overall weighted grade point average of a 90% and no course failures. Once a student has been inducted as a member, he/she must maintain this 90% grade point average to continue membership in addition to fulfilling the service, leadership and character standards set by the NHS and Sachem.
III. Leadership, Character & Activities:
Each candidate must present a minimum of 2 school-based activities (clubs/sports). Keep in mind SYAG, Dance, Honor Societies etc. do not satisfy this requirement. Eligible students will be rated by their teachers, activity advisors and community supervisors on character and leadership based on their performance.
IV. Service:
Each candidate must demonstrate his/her willingness and ability to be of service to their school and community. A total of 30 community service hours are required and can be completed beginning in the 9th grade through the present time of eligibility. Service does not include any activities for which the student received pay or compensation for performing the task.
V. Selection:
Selection of students for membership is the responsibility of the Faculty Council Board. This board consists of faculty members appointed by the administrator and the National Honor Society Advisors, who serve as ex-officio members and do not have a part in the actual selection of candidates. Names of Faculty Council members are confidential as set by the National Honor Society.
